My wife kept her last name. It actually made for a smoother immigration process, I think. Otherwise, she would have had to change investments, insurance, home country driver's license, etc. in her home country. No one has ever questioned the fact that we have different legal last names.

18 months to 24 months....roughly.

You are free to leave at any time. There are no immigration checkpoints when departing.

Same here. 40 months after filing our I-751, wife submitted her N-400. Four months later, both the I-751 and N-400 were approved during a combo interview.

Public Charge is not a consideration when applying for citizenship. Non-Issue.

Congratulations!!! That really is a huge accomplishment.

No, you cannot add him to Mother's case regardless of his age. There can be no derivatives for immediate relatives if US citizens. Your mother will have to petition him after she becomes a legal resident.

For AP, you can't leave before approval.

She can apply for emergency travel (I-131) Emergency Travel | USCIS

No. Just file a joint return.

No. You will be interviewed. Every application is a separate entity.

That might be much more difficult than you think. Your spouse should be close to being able to file for citizenship. Once he becomes a citizen, you are off the hook for the I-864. Have you filed for divorce?

The issue just started again. I cannot ping or connect to VJ unless I connect via a VPN.

You can withdraw your cooperation before the I-751 is approved. I would send a letter to both the service center and the local office if I wanted to withdraw. Note: This will not affect your obligations under the I-864.

Have you checked today's breaking news regarding Ukrainian TPS? Good luck on your journey.

***Moved to Adjustment of Status from Work, Student, and Tourist Visas*** I would get the I-485 submitted as soon as possible.....like ASAP!!!!!! I would also check the breaking news today.

***Duplicate threads merged***

No.

***Duplicate thread removed. Please do not repost in a different forum*** ***Moved to the NVC forum***

I have never heard of anyone choosing their own N-400 interview date.

***Moved to Taxes and Finance During US Immigration***

Your accountant is wrong. Ask him/her to show you the IRS directive which says you can file as single if married. You could have filed as Married Filing Separately on paper or by following the IRS Publication 501 below. Some tax software will allow e_filing if you enter "NRA" in the area below the filing status box. However, this is an IRS issue rather than an immigration issue. You are neither the first nor the last to file incorrectly. You can amend your taxes later. 2024 Publication 501 "Select this filing status by checking the “Married filing separately” box on the Filing Sta tus line near the top of Form 1040 or 1040-SR. Enter your spouse's full name in the entry space at the bottom of the Filing Status section and enter your spouse's SSN or ITIN in the space for spouse's SSN on Form 1040 or 1040-SR. If your spouse doesn't have and isn't required to have an SSN or ITIN, enter “NRA” in the entry space below the filing status checkboxes. For electronic filing, enter the spouse's name or “NRA” if the spouse doesn't have an SSN or ITIN in the entry space below the filing status checkboxes. Use the Married filing separately column of the Tax Table, or Section C of the Tax Computation Worksheet, to figure your tax"
